I'm tall and several guys have found it not to their liking due to insecurities or other geometry. Its what it is and I move on.
How tall are you?
@PrettyRegular, my license says 5' 10"
Ok well I guess that's kinda tall for a girl.
I played volleyball and did XC and Track in school.
Ok well I'm 6'5. So I like taller girls. It would be awkward to date someone and kneel for a kiss. 🙂
How tall do you like your guys?
As long as his nose isn't buried in my chest when we dance, i'm pretty ok with it.
Do you wear heels?
No. It's not offensive if someone doesn't want to date me because of my tall height. If someone cares that much about it, they certainly aren't the one for me. Life isn't fair in general, and rejection isn't unique to anyone who is actively dating. Especially in the online world if someone is just looking at a picture of you, that's all they have to judge you by so it's often a very superficial thing.
How tall are you? How tall do you like your guys?
I've never been turned down because of height. I'm 6ft which is averge so I guess I'm lucky. I usually like taller girls and have dated girls that are either the same height or a little shorter than me. But, i would never turn someone down because they are short.
How tall do you like your girls
No, but to be fair it's never happened. The number of girls turned off by height is infintesimally small.
How tall are you and how tall do you like your girls
@sparkdog 6'1 myself, but I personally don't care on height. Dated a girl who was 5'11, couple girls who were 5'2. Girly I'm talking to now is 5'9. Last two exes were 5'6. I genuinely don't care about a girls height. It's about the proportions for me as far as physicality. Which is why I don't like dwarves lol. She can be 4'10 and that's fine if she's normal looking yet small. But dwarf measurements is not attractive. Same for a tall girl. Met a couple girls who were 6'3 I find attractive. But most times tell tall girls aren't that appealing physically
I could care less about that because it's not something I can change anw.

I'm short. lol I'm 5'1.
I like guys who are taller than I am but that's like MOSTLY EVERY GUY. 😂
It's their choice. Everyone has a right to their personal preferences, and to be honest, you can't really help what you're attracted to or not attracted to.
Like big boobs?
@Badballie Sure! Anything, really.

@sparkdog 5'7" and height isn't a big thing to me, but I do like it when we're around the same height because we can look each other in the eyes more easily without looking way up or way down.
Do you wear heels?
@sparkdog No, I can't even walk in them, lol.
Yes I do. Because it is something I can't change. I have no problem with superficial reasons to not date someone so long as they are things that can be changed (weight for example). Height and race can't, so I find it offensive to think I've been permanently disqualified on those features alone.
How tall are you? How tall do you like your girls?
@sparkdog I'm 5ft 9inches (175cm). I don't care about height in a partner. Besides, it would be rather hypocritical of me to care but also be getting offended that some people have it as a deal breaker. It's still something no one can change. I don't see myself as an exception; everyone is more than just their height (tall, short, or average).
So you don’t have an ideal height for a girl? Taller, shorter, same height?
@sparkdog Nope. Any height is fine with me. I never even paid attention to it until I began hearing how big a deal some people make about it.
I'm 6ft1 but I dislike that short guys get the short end of the stick.
Sure preferences are fine to have but they should also be compromisable.
I have seen many on here who wouldn't date a guy who fills all their preferences but height.
I feel it's a bit silly to have something no one can control so high up on a preference list.
How tall do you like your girls
My preference is taller than average however it's not that important.
I'd happily have a shorter woman if I felt her other qualities where amazing.
How much taller than average
About the same height as me 5"9'+
Why’s that?
My ideal relationship has a bit of competitivity in it. I'll do the generic romantic stuff like carry her on occasion but I'd like her to be a bit like that too.
It also has a lot if physical affection which could be a bit rough so I'd feel I'd accidentally hurt a smaller woman because of my height plus I find taller more physically attractive.
Physically equal is also a preference but then we are getting into the area of extreme unlikelihood, I'm sure there are a few tall strong women but the 3 values that are above all else trustworthy, non abusive and doesn't go too fast.
No more than any other reason she would have, and I am not generally bothered by any reason anyway.
I have a very strong preference for tall women, also ones taller than me, so I guess this could gave happened to me sometimes in the past.
How tall are you? How tall do you like your girls?
@sparkdog: 5'11. Like em 5'10 and taller.
Why?
No, I'm very short and understand it's not for everyone. Everybody has their preferences.
If I have to convince him to date me or he has to 'overlook' something as my height, then I feel like it's not the right fit, to begin with.
How tall are you and how tall do you like your guys
@sparkdog I'm 153 cm.
My last boyfriend was about 175 cm I think, which fit me very well. Wouldn't be opposed to him being taller though.
But I would prefer the guy to be at least 10 cm taller than me. Which so far has not been a problem at all.
Why’s that?
@sparkdog Why I want him to be taller than me? or?
Yes. Why does he have to be 10 cm taller than you?
@sparkdog I mean he has to be at least 10 cm taller. So 165 cm at the shortest.
Mostly because I'm used to people being taller than me. Hell, 5th graders are taller than I am.
And I'm growing used to it, even when I meet women that's my height I feel like it's weird.
So that's why I prefer a taller guy.
But I've never really met a guy that's close to my height, so it's not an issue.
It’s their choice and I’d be relieved they didn’t want to date me as they obvisouky are shallow and don’t like me enough to see past height!
Their choice is accepted even though their choice is based on image
How tall are you? How tall do you like your guys?
I’m 5’6” and I have had a boyfriend a couple of inches shorter and my last was 6’4”!
I don’t think I would. But that being said I’m very average height. If I was short or tall I might feel different!!
How tall are you? How tall do you like your guys?
@sparkdog whats up kid?
I'm 5'5 so I've never really had that problem. But I can understand why people would get offended, because height should not be a deciding factor. Saying that, everyone has preferences and one's preference shouldn't be aligned with their character.
How tall do you like your guys?
I wouldn't be offended. I would be confused because I'm average height and I wouldn't expect someone to reject me because of it, especially since I'm a woman. I wouldn't force someone to date me if they dont find me attractive.
How tall are you and how tall do you like your guys
I'm about 5'4" and I'd prefer it if he's taller than me.
What if he’s 5’4?
That's fine.
Do you wear heels?
Why do you want him to be taller than you?
What if he’s 5’3?
No, I don't wear heels. I want him to be taller because I'd feel like the man in the relationship. I want to feel protected in the relationship and not many people are going to be intimidated by a 5'4" man. And I want my kids to be taller than me, especially my son. So many men are insecure about their height and i don't want my son to feel the same way. Being tall has always been a masculine trait. I guess I'd still date him if he's 5'3".
Why would you feel like the man in the relationship? Feeling protected and being intimidated are two different things. Being tall is not a masculine trait. Men are only insecure about their height because women are always saying they want tall guys
If you’re 5’4, chances are your sons will be average height, whether the guy is 5’7 or 6’0.
I can't help it. I'm a traditional person, if a man doesn't possess certain traits I'd feel like the man. I didn't say they were the same thing. I want to feel protected so I want my boyfriend to look intimidating. Being tall is a masculine trait (ik it's wrong for me to think like that but I'm open to having my mind changed about that). It is true that some men are insecure for that reason which is why I want my boyfriend to be taller so my son won't have to worry about it. I'm not really worried about my daughter's height since men are more likely to a date a girl who is around his height.
You’re the average height for a girl, you don’t have to worry about your sons being short
And what if my boyfriend is shorter than me? I won't have to worry about my kids being shorter than average, right? Wrong, kids are usually between their dad's and mom's heights. Generally, Short parents have short kids and tall parent have tall children. It's not common for people to end up being taller than both of their parents.
For girls, parents have to be very far removed from average for their height to be affected. For guys, it depends less on the height of their parents and more on when they hit their growth spurt. Hardly any guys are shorter than you, so you really have nothing to worry about. And no, kids are not between the heights of their parents. It’s the average of the parents heights, plus 2.5 for guys, and minus 2.5 for girls.
It's still possible for me to meet a guy who's shorter than me. He might be a really good guy but he just so happens to be shorter than me. I want to be with him but I'd still feel unprotected.
Why would you feel unprotected? What if he’s a tough guy?
Would you be intimidated by a guy who's shorter than you? Most people wouldn't be intimidated by a guy who is shorter than average. He'd just be a joke to them. "Haha look at this angry midget man"
No I wouldn’t be intimidated by him but why do I need to be? If he’s a tough guy he can protect you, why does he have to be intimidating?
I wouldn’t be intimidated by a guy who’s taller than me either
How is he a tough guy if he's not intimidating? Tall and tough is just more intimidating than short and tough. Being taller just adds on to the intimidation. It's like horses. Tall horses are more intimidating and stronger than a short horse. I'm not saying short horses aren't as strong but they aren't as intimidating as a tall horse.
Why do you want intimidating? If you want to be protected, then strength is all that matters
Because it's more attractive.
Ok but I don’t even know any guys that I would find intimidating
I just find it attractive. I don't expect everyone to be intimidated by him.
I am 5"11.
If that's not enough then she can try a Camel or Giraffe..
Don't really care..
If I am too tall..
She has my license to climb me and sit on my shoulders..
I find short girls are fun..
And tall girls are sexy goddess
How tall do you like your girls?
@sparkdog I am okay with girl's till height of 6"0 but muscular..
And still find attractive above 6"0 till 6"2 if she is a bit thin.. Or fit.
Yes, but w/e. I'll get over it. Plenty more fish in the sea and life it too short to get hung up on one bitch.
How tall are you? How tall do you like your girls?
@sparkdog 5'10". I like 5'5", 5'4"ish, but I've been with girls a lot taller than that. I don't get hung up on height with women. They're all shorter than me when they're on their knees.
What’s the tallest you dated
@sparkdog 6'4"
What was that like? Did she wear heels?
I did voted B.
Nope, I don’t take offense because it’s nothing I can do to change it and deal with it. I don’t care less and it’s their choice. I can’t please everyone 💯
How tall are you? How tall do you like your guys?
I really have had no interest in guys shorter than me, I don't know why
Sorry 🙄
How tall are you and how tall do you like your guys
I'm average height so I have not faced this issue. And even though it may be disappointing, height is like anything else, a preference. Sure it can be offensive but it is what it is.
How tall are you and how tall do you like your girls
@sparkdog I'm 5'10. As long as she's shorter than me.
Why not same height or taller?
